EventMap, a 2002 spin-out of Queen’s University Belfast (QUB), is set to create 10 new jobs in Northern Ireland after securing £85,000 ($133,340) from Invest NI.
The Belfast-based firm is planning to use the new headcount to continue development of its timetabling software with a view to create a new cloud-based platform.
Barry McCollum, co-founder of EventMap, said: “Opportunities are opening up for us not only in the education sector but also within many areas of the public sector and in large-scale manufacturing – in fact, we see possibilities for our technology anywhere where very complex organisations can be made more efficient. Over the next three years we will be implementing a marketing strategy to target sales within a number of national and international markets including UK, France, Portugal, Finland, Switzerland, Australia and the United Arab Emirates.”
